IMPROVEMENT IN SHOW-CASES'.

Specification forming1 part ofLetters Patent No. 165,031.1, datzd June 29, 1875; application filed May 1, 1875.

A spending parts.

This show-case is made of any size and form, having on the inner side a verticallysliding door, A. B is the bottom ot' the case,

as seen in the drawing. The door is dropped down a little, and itis opened by lowering and closed by raising it. C is a cleat on the inside of the bottom of the door. D is a strip of rubber cloth or other similar material, which is fastened in an angular position by the cleat E. When the door is closed the cleat O strikes the lower edge ot' the rubber or cloth D, and turns it up and coniines it against the rabbet F, and thereby excludes all dust from the show-case. G is the spring-catch in a oase, H. I is the hook or catch, which is forced by a constant pressure from the spring J inward, so as to catch, when the slide is closed, onto the shoulder K of the i'rictioirplate L.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters lPatent-- In a showcase, in combination With the sliding door provided with the strip C, the packing-strip D, for keeping the case dusttight, as described.
